GLOBETROTTERS WRITING PROMPT
June Monthly Challenge —Skyscrapers
How high did you go?
Sometimes stairs aren’t enough to get to the top. One couldn’t walk that much. Some elevators shoot you into the skies. Within seconds. And then you’re there. What feels like the top of the world.
While we've been talking about civilizations and fortifications of the past, we are now looking for constructions of the present. Buildings that rise into the sky. Buildings that bring you high above a city.
There are towers all around the world. Every city has a tallest building, a TV tower or a cathedral. Some are taller than others but most offer spectacular views above the city they are in. And then there are those.
Skyscrapers.
The tallest of the tallest ones. Because we are trying to build bigger. Always. To build higher. My question for you is:
How high did you go?
Where did you travel to in the past and climbed a tower, a skyscraper or another tall building? Tell us about the experience from getting there, climbing to the top and how it felt taking in that view.
Be creative.
Pull us in with your compelling narrative.
If you need some ideas, here we go:

A requirement for the monthly challenge submissions is to tag 2 articles that either inspired you to go to this place, have quality content about the same country you’re talking about or maybe it’s just a travel piece you really enjoyed reading.
You can use the search function to review our publication and look for articles about your destination. It’s easy and a great way to show appreciation to other writers out here.
We’re looking forward to your submissions. As always, at the end of the month, the editors of Globetrotters will announce their winners. While we also submit our entries, we do not participate in the competition.
